When I'm caught up on wwe (which I'm not right now) ,I still have dc,marve,gi joe,lego and a few other things here and there. Wwe dvds, animated series dvds etc. Right now though, the only non wwe figures that are really becoming a priority..........star wars black. The 6" ones anyway.......wow......just wow. The black series is awesome and does damage to the wallet. Still have to get the SDCC Boba Fett

Unless I get enough funds to knock out the remaining wwe wants between now and october. If I do, I might shell out the extra for the sdcc version.

To me, I stagger it out so I never go really two weeks without getting a fig. I'll pre-order one or two figs I want from a set so I get those early. And when the set hits retail a month or a month and a half later, I pick up maybe one or two other figs I want from the set, but didn't bother to pre-order, so the timing works out nicely that way.

I'm in a similar spot, but I'm not all that anxious about it. I started doing customs. I also have other hobbies too (comic books are released weekly). Just find something else...or start a 401k. Your call.

C'mon mattel! Pump some more stuff out! I have only like 3 figures left to get from older series that I want, then that's it, only upcoming series left. Wish they were pumped out monthly, I'm getting the itch again, and E23 isn't hitting for another month (retail). I want the BOPPV WM 29 ALREADY! What do YOU do to pass the 2 months until the next set comes out? Any elite only collectors on here like myself? You can go out and be active. I'm very much into WWE Elites and I'm in the same boat you are in. Within a years time I get just about every figure from the past that I want. I don't play video games anymore, so I go out a lot. Chill with friends, work and save up money, date, and go to college. For me, these figures are a link to my childhood innocence. It's a healthy form of escape from life. But, if you are going crazy waiting, like it's your life.... That's not good.

With modern guys there's really only one (maybe 2) guys I want that doesn't have an Elite. Axel & RVD
The only modern guys I'll still buy more Elites of are HHH, Orton, Rhodes, Barrett, Sandow, Punk, Jericho, Christian, Bryan and maybe Taker and one updated Swagger.
Do I wish we still had Legends or more FB sets like E23? Sure, but there's plenty of other things to spend money on so I am fine with their release pace.

Guess I just want the next two series to get here already because there's stuff I want from each and I'm a "Have it now" person lol

I collect elites and basics. But only guys I want. But lately, I've wanted everyone from the sets! I've been collecting a little over a year, so in down time, I snag some older stuff from ebay or the classifieds. I also collect Batman, Turtles, and Ghostbusters. Between that, work, and playing golf/teaching lessons 5 days a week......it keeps me busy
